NAfter his neck injury in Lommel, Ken De Dycker still appeared at the start in Loket. However, additional examination forced the popular LS Honda rider to take mandatory rest. As a result, De Dycker missed both the BK rounds of Balen and Orp-Le-Grand and the last three GPs of the WC season.
This Sunday, De Dycker will be back again for the final of the Lotto Trophy in Mont-Saint Guibert. Keeno was able to test drive it yesterday and got off his CRF450R enthusiastically. “It feels great to be able to race again! I was happy that I no longer experienced any discomfort, I didn't even have any stiffness in my neck. I'm really looking forward to racing again this weekend, especially on a fantastic track like Mont-Saint Guibert. Last year the BC final literally fell into the water, causing the course to be shortened enormously. Now I had a similar feeling to 2008 when I discovered the Shanks circuit; it's big, wide, fun to ride and there are some cool jumps too. I'm excited!"
